   TODAY'S NORWEGIAN CHILDREN ARE EATING MUCH MORE CANDY THAN THEIR PARENTS

   Today's Norwegian children are eating twice as much candy and sweets compared to their parents. The difference is abundant in merely one generation. While the parents ate more than enough chocolate to worry any person concerned with people choosing healthy food, their kids have truly, generally given up the struggle altogether.
   Present day life, because of human made chemicals in food and everywhere, is generally unhealthy, but the intake of all the fat and sugar is "responsible" for a substantial amount of the deterioration in human health.
   Scientists by the Norwegian board on public health are appalled but not surprised by the result of the survey. Other research projects have given similar results.
   The "trend", called "rich man's burden" when the results of western "wealth" was turning apparent in the sixties and seventies, is nothing new.
   The price of it all, however is continuing to increase.
